Format of the Test

The format of this test is multiple choice, each question being followed by five possible
answers, of which only one is correct. Since your answer form will be marked by an optical
device, it is important that you indicate only one correct answer to each question. Each
question counts 1 mark.
Please record clearly your answer to each question by drawing a short thick line with a soft
pencil through the letter which you think corresponds to the correct answer. For example, if
you think the correct answer to question 1 is C, then the relevant entry would be

Rough working should be done only on the booklet, and not on the answer sheet. You do
not need to submit your rough working.
